Joanne mentioned the plant false indigo in a reent post. She inspsired me to admire mine, very big this year. You can see both leaves and seed pods.
Sometimes called baptisia, these plants are drought tolerant, good pollenators, and (drum roll) deer resistant. And, they're pretty.
Because I'd read that they are self seeding I tried to start my own from seeds in the refrigerator rolled up in a damp paper towel. It didn't work.

I'll check on the Master Gardener website if there is a specific way to get the plants to make babies. I have more than a half dozen of them... big and so round that my arms can't reach. Septic field is nearby- could be the reason they are so happy.
